Subject: link_path_walk: get rid of duplication
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb8603f8e166e49f02f865213feee7afddeac9b0;p=linux-beck.git

link_path_walk: get rid of duplication

What we do after the second walk_component() + put_link() + depth
decrement in there is exactly equivalent to what's done right
after the first walk_component().  Easy to verify and not at all
surprising, seeing that there we have just walked the last
component of nested symlink.
